No Time To Dwell On Last Night’s Game

Early game, gotta get right to the…

RAINIERS ROUND-UP

Yesterday: Reno continued to score at will, plating 12 runs on 14 hits in a 12-9 victory over Tacoma on Tuesday night. Felix Hernandez‘s rehab went well from a health perspective – his shoulder felt fine – but he had no command of his pitches. Ildemaro Vargas went 4-for-5 including a grand slam off Felix. Tacoma’s Tyler O’Neill lifted a grand slam to left off soft-tossing Aaron Laffey in the third inning, briefly giving Tacoma a lead.

Roster Move: The Rainiers added rehabilitating major leaguers Felix Hernandez and Mitch Haniger yesterday. Looks like Felix will pitch again on Sunday, and Haniger will be here for at least three games.

Banda is considered to be the Arizona Diamondbacks top pitching prospect. He sometimes battles control problems.

Hot Rainiers: Leonys Martin was ejected in the first inning, which ended his five-game hitting streak. He had hit safely in 19 of his last 22 games… Zach Shank is 19-for-54 with 11 RBI over his last 14 games.

Look Out For: Ildemaro Vargas has back-to-back four-hit games, and is 8-for-10 in this series with six runs scored and seven RBI. He hit .475 (19-40) against Tacoma last year… Jack Reinheimer has a nine-game hitting streak… ex-Rainiers infielder Ketel Marte has homered in four of the last six games… Oswaldo Arcia has a seven-game hitting streak with four homers during it… Christian Walker leads the PCL with 16 home runs. He’s hit 12 of the 16 at home in Reno.

Local Guys and Ex-Rainiers: Ketel Marte was traded with Taijuan Walker to the Diamondbacks for Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger. Still a riveting trade, eh? Let’s not even bother trying to decide who won the deal until at least 2022… Carlos Rivero played for Tacoma in 2015… Hank Conger grew up in Federal Way but moved to southern California before high school.
